Moinuddin Hadi Naqshband

Khwaja Muin-ud-Din Al- Naqshbandi Al-Kashmiri commonly known as Moinuddin Hadi Naqshband (died 5 May 1674), was a 17th-century Sufi saint from Bukhara and a direct descendant of Baha al-Din Naqshband. He succeeded his father, Hazrat Ishaan in the Naqshbandi Ishaani Silsila within the Naqshbandi Sufi order.
He was a student of Shaikh Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlavi and had family ties with Aurangzeb Alamgir. He constructed a grand Khanqah in Srinagar City and spread the Naqshbandi order in Kashmir. He is buried at the Ziyarat Naqshband Sahab shrine in Kashmir, the area is now known as Khwaja Bazar.
Life
Moinuddin Hadi Naqshband migrated with his family from Bukhara to the Gujarat Sultanate via Kashgar through Silk Road, in the reign of Akbar. They eventually moved to Kashmir Valley in 1601.
In 1608, his father Hazrat Ishaan established the 'Khanqah Faiz Panah' in Mohalla Sikandar Pora, Srinagar, now referred to as Khwaja Bazar. The founder appointed his son, Moin-ud-Din, as his successor for the promotion of the Naqshbandi order and entrusted him with the responsibilities of managing the Naqshbandi Khanqah and the associated jagirs.
Ancestry
Moinuddin Hadi Naqshband was a Sayyid, a direct descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad through his daughter Fatima al-Zahra and his son-in-law and cousin Ali ibn Abu Talib, through Moinuddin Hadi Naqshband's father Hazrat Ishaan who was a seventh generation descendant of Baha al-Din Naqshband.
Successors
Khwaja Moinuddin Hadi Naqshband was succeeded by his grandson Sayyid Mirza Nizamuddin Naqshbandi, because his three sons Khwaja Jani, Khwaja Zia and Khwaja Sharifuddin Muhammad died before he himself passed away. The Silsila of Khwaja Moinuddin Naqshband later came to an end after the martyrdom of his descendant Khwaja Kamaluddin Naqshbandi, but was restarted by his descendant Sayyid Mir Jan in the mid 19th century.
Hazrat Ishaan Khawand Mahmud stated that under his progeny there will come a descendant of his, who will revive his Silsila and legacy and will take his place as Qutb after him. This foretelling has allegedly been fulfilled by the efforts of Sayyid Mir Jan.
